If you will never come around to reading the whole article about New Zealand, at least read this, will you? :)
"New Zealand is an island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean comprising two main landmasses (the North Island and the South Island) and numerous smaller islands, most notably Stewart Island/Rakiura and the Chatham Islands. The indigenous Māori name for New Zealand is Aotearoa, commonly translated as land of the long white cloud. The Realm of New Zealand also includes Tokelau; the Cook Islands and Niue (self-governing but in free association); and the Ross Dependency, New Zealand's territorial claim in Antarctica.
New Zealand is notable for its geographic isolation: it is situated about 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) southeast of Australia across the Tasman Sea, and its closest neighbours to the north are the Pacific Islands of New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga.
The country's sharp mountain peaks owe much to the earthquakes and volcanic activity caused by the clashing Pacific and Indo-Australian Plates.
The climate is mild and temperate and most of the landscape is covered by tussock grass or forests of podocarp, kauri or southern beech.
During its long isolation New Zealand developed a distinctive fauna dominated by birds, a number of which became extinct after the arrival of humans and introduced mammals."

Hi Dorin,
I tried to leave you a review on Alexa, but never was able to make it successfully through their irritating registration process. It kept telling me I had the wrong email address. Hmmm. Anyway, I tried.
I noticed in my policy they don't cover "Acts of God" (referring to God-provoked events like floods & earthquakes). I'm an atheist... so couldn't I challenge this in court...
A meteor strikes your car. You file a claim. The insurance carrier denies your claim. They say "act of god" You take the insurance company to court and argue, "I dont believe in god, therefore the 'act of god' defense is not valid?" The universe, cause and effect or fate, caused this rock to slam into my vehicle..." You have no defense. You did not exclude coverage, so you owe me."
